Well Im real tempted to buy it. I missed an easy shot from KI67s tonight and while I'll place the main blame on me sucking this X52 is so dang herky jerky.

I need a smooth stick. So I can suck less.

I preordered last night from Netherlands. My x52 pro is spiking badly.. 211€ shipped.  Not too bad if its ok. I like x52 handle and rotaries more than warthog.

Just got mine this afternoon. Have only messed with the Throttle so far as that is pretty much all I wanted from it. Thing is huge, throttle is very tight. Haven't tried flying with it yet, but the buttons on back of throttle feel like they might be in the way when trying to work the throttle in a fight, but like I said, haven't used it that way yet. It is pretty, lights are very bright, it is not a metal casing so it is fairly light. Game recognized it as an X55 rhino without downloading any drivers, but when I first plugged it into the computer it didn't recognize it (least that's what a pop up message said, still AH recognized it though). Thumb 4 way buttons are very sensitive and are very close together so may be a problem if you have thick digits. You do have to take your hand off it to reach some toggle levers or use some rotary dials. Ask any specific questions and I will try to answer them. :salute

It has different springs right? To lighten the tension?

I am confused now. I received the x55 rhino, is that the new one coming out or is the X65 the new one? I had it in my mind the higher number was the new one.  :headscratch:
Anyway, I just pre ordered it from their site when they opened up sales and got it yesterday. If it was supposed to be the X65 that is the new one I will have to double check things.

Yes, the X55 came with 4 springs of varying length and thickness, but it will be a little bit till I get to checking the stick out.

You got the new one. X55 is newer than X65f which was force-sensing stick. It is discontinued AFAIK.

How smooth is the joystick when making fine adjustments during aiming?

My X52pro is damned irritating when zooming in and taking careful aim. It just spikes around, no worth trying to aim at anything.

Nope. I added magnets, tightened everything and still the stick spikes and acts odd. Maybe I should change the sensors next. Or not.

Anyways I already ordered X55 and I will pass this X52pro to someone else. The throttle is best I ever have used tho.

Added magnets?

You take that stupid rack and pinion out, which does absolutly nothing :rofl

And then use a sticky tab to stick one magnet in the middle of the sensor region :)

No bounce :banana:

It wont make you as awesome or good looking as me :rofl
